The dissemination of scientific culture is what Aix Marseille Université is all about. The Scientific Culture Unit (CST) of the Research Department organises events all year round aimed at spreading the word about scientific culture in and out of the University.
If you are a PhD student or researcher and would like to participate in or organise an event about your research topic, the CST has published an online guide (in French).
To immerse yourself in AMU’s scientific culture, you will also find many online resources made by the research laboratories:
- The Science-o-thèque provides a scientific media library with educational content for everyone: comic books, board games, videos, educational packs and web documentaries, to help you discover research in the experimental sciences and the humanities and social sciences.
- The Infuse web magazine showcases research and scientific life at Aix-Marseille Université: articles, insights, interviews, portraits, videos, podcasts - all the knowledge that our scientists share to give science its full meaning.
